Xbox 360 Critic Reviews

To the point: pain has rarely been so pleasureable. Rumble on, spandex warriors. [Dec. 2006, p.74]

It's an absolute monster, with tons of power while simultaneously possessing impressive agility.

Graphically it looks wonderful and plays just as well, but next year Yukes really needs to scrap a lot of the built-in aspects and redesign from the ground up, such as the CAW and Season modes.

I implore you to give this a go if you’re a wrestling fan, and even if you aren’t – it might well be worth a play. I like the improvements that have been made, and I’ll be playing this long into 2007.

At present, this is the closest you will come to knowing what it is like to step inside a WWE ring. Here’s hoping THQ and the WWE will move past their business disagreements and continue producing superb wrestling games.

The sheer depth of the game, various modes, and customization available are second to none, combined with an improved control schema and interactive environments, you’ll be playing this one for a very long time.

The new control scheme makes SvR 2007 much less of a button-masher as much of the grappling is now mapped to the right analog stick, although sometimes a combo button is needed for certain grapple follow-ups.

The core of this game is far too good to not enjoy. For fans of wrestling or fighting games in general, this annual series has become a required purchase.

All of the changes and new features were all for the better, and any wrestling fan will be happy with this game.

You can spend dozens of hours playing through the game’s various modes and match types, and that’s even before you start playing multiplayer.
